Other possible causes of buffer underruns:
Hard Drive
• Extremely fragmented hard drive.
• Not enough space in the temporary directory (20MB recommended).
• Hard drive compression may cause buffer underruns. We do not recommend writing from a compressed
hard disk or disk partition.
• Very old hard drives.
Other Hardware
• Spindown of CD-ROM drives you’re copying data or audio from (for information on preventing CD-ROM
spindown see your computer’s manual or contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer).
• Slow source device.
• Source device that transfers data in bursts.
• Incorrect recorder controller settings.
• Inability of the devices to sync properly.
• Overall system configuration.
• Computer unable to allow fast enough data transfer.
• Conflict with old device drivers. Do not use 16-bit (real-mode) device drivers in Windows 98SE.
REM out any old CD-ROM drives you may have in your CONFIG.SYS file.
• Setting hard drive read ahead optimization to ‘none’ may cure buffer underruns in some cases:
• Go to
Start Menu
.
• Click on
Settings
; then
Control Panel
.
• Click on
System
; then
Performance
.
• Click on
Advanced Settings/File System
; then
Hard Disk
.
• Set
Read-ahead optimization
to
None
.
• Click on
OK
to accept settings.
Networks
• Recording across the network.
• A network may be too slow to maintain adequate throughput speed.
• Other network activity may also cause problems (other devices
trying to access the
RipGO!
device
)
